Yes, sometimes, just sometimes, patterns arise that DO have meaning.
Consider another "cultural" pattern: How many recent Hollywood films have you seen in the past 2 years that had the phrase "the war has begun" pronounced (solemnly) in them? I count at least 4. LOTR 2, XMen 2, StarWars 2, The Matrix 2. "Bush family war in the Gulf 2" anyone?
